Dear GCADA Member Dealership:

The Greater Cleveland Automobile Dealers’ Educational Assistance Foundation (ADEAF) Board is pleased to announce, for the 35th year, a series of one-year College Scholarships for dependent(s) of member dealership employees or an employee of the dealership. Last year there were $150,000 (60 - $2,500) in scholarships awarded for the 2025-26 academic year. This year’s amounts will be announced at a later date.

Please make this valuable information available to all of your employees.

The program is intended for students pursuing an associate’s or bachelor’s degree full-time. A maximum of four (4) one-year scholarships are allowed per individual. Excluded from consideration are candidates whose parent is the designated dealer principal of a Member Dealer.

This program is only possible because of your membership with the Greater Cleveland Automobile Dealers’ Association. Further, ADEAF is funded by the success of your Cleveland Auto Show and we thank you in advance for your continued support.
